I cannot express how much this faucet has changed my life! Seriously! I was recently diagnosed with colorectal cancer and now, after the resection surgery of my colon and rectum, I spend a LOT of time in the bathroom. So much wiping was uncomfortable and painful. I was miserable! Now I am able to rinse completely with the bidet and pat dry -- Yay! No more rash, no more pain.

I cannot express how much this faucet has changed my life! Seriously! I was recently diagnosed with colorectal cancer and now, after the resection surgery of my colon and rectum, I spend a LOT of time in the bathroom. So much wiping was uncomfortable and painful. I was miserable! Now I am able to rinse completely with the bidet and pat dry -- Yay! No more rash, no more pain. I like this version over the ones that attach to the toilet water shutoff because I can control the temperature at the sink. Sometimes the warm water is good and other times, when I am chaffed, the cold water is helpful. I have found, though, that if you leave the warm water diverted to the sprayer for a while before using it, the water comes out very very hot! To avoid burning myself, I spray it into the sink for a few seconds until the temperature stabilizes. The hook-up to the faucet is very tight and as long as the rubber washer is properly in place, it does not leak... At. All. I have not had any leaking at the sprayer end either. I have the bracket that holds the sprayer hanging from the towel rack on the side of our vanity. Using a wrench, I am able to easily remove the bidet to bring with me when traveling. I pack it coiled up, along with the wrench and rubber washer, in a ziplock bag and pack it in my suitcase. Because I remove it for traveling at least once a month, I have found that it does not need to be super tightly installed. I use a washrag between the wrench and the attachment to keep it from getting scratched up. I was concerned that the diverter would extend too low into the sink, especially since we needed to use the extra fitting, but it is perfectly fine. There is plenty of room to put a full sized glass under the tap. I have experienced some back splashing to the back of the toilet between the seat and the tank, which has dripped onto the floor. I have remedied that problem by rolling a hand towel and placing it behind the seat between the lid and the tank. I think this is a problem unique to our specific toilet as I do not experience this problem at our weekend cabin or other places that we have traveled. The only complaint I have but was immediately remedied was that the kit arrived without the hanger clip for the sprayer. I Googled RiseWorks, Inc and found their customer service phone number and gave them a call. They didn't even question me and sent the clip out right away. I seriously do not know how I could get along without this wonderful appliance! I highly recommend it to colon or rectal cancer survivors, colitis suffers, or anyone else that spends a lot of time in the bathroom. Thank you for your wonderful product! I wish I could give you TEN stars! Read Less

This is the nicest and most economical option for a durable shattaf/bidet if you want warm water. I prefer a handheld anyway. I spent a long time looking for something like this that didn’t just spray ice cold water from the toilet supply line. For a while we just used peri bottles. This is worlds better. I sprung for the brass one—it’s a nice, hefty thing. I love the pressure adjustment, it’s actually pretty strong at a medium setting from my old, low-pressure pipes. Just remember to turn ever...

This is the nicest and most economical option for a durable shattaf/bidet if you want warm water. I prefer a handheld anyway. I spent a long time looking for something like this that didn’t just spray ice cold water from the toilet supply line. For a while we just used peri bottles. This is worlds better. I sprung for the brass one—it’s a nice, hefty thing. I love the pressure adjustment, it’s actually pretty strong at a medium setting from my old, low-pressure pipes. Just remember to turn everything on and off in the right order. The handheld aspect is convenient for keeping the sink basin clean, rinsing out hand washable garments, and rinsing washable menstrual pads (it’s generally great for menstrual hygiene). It’s nuts that this feels like such a luxury when truly, the custom of wiping with paper is a stain on western civilization, pun intended. Read Less

Installs in 5 min with no tools, and does not require working under sink like with other bidet systems. I prefer hand-held units to those that attach to the toilet sit since you can have more control in directing the water exactly where you want it to go (and where you don't). This seems to be the only product on the market that attaches directly to the faucet, and gives you a warm water bidet with such an easy installation. Two things to consider: Keep i... Read More

Installs in 5 min with no tools, and does not require working under sink like with other bidet systems. I prefer hand-held units to those that attach to the toilet sit since you can have more control in directing the water exactly where you want it to go (and where you don't). This seems to be the only product on the market that attaches directly to the faucet, and gives you a warm water bidet with such an easy installation. Two things to consider: Keep in mind that it will make the faucet opening sit about 2 inches lower. If you happen to have one of those faucets that already sits low over the sink, plus one of those shallow sinks, you may run out of space to comfortably wash your hands without touching the sink surface, especially if you have large hands. I think most bathroom sink setups have enough space for this not to be an issue though. The majority of faucets use either the large (15/16) or small (13/16) aerator gauge. The unit fits the large size out of the box. For the small one you would have to make a trip to Home Depot and get a different adapter. The provided manual explains well what to do in such situation. Update: Unfortunately, the issue with bursts of hot water noted by other reviewers appears to exists. If you turn on the diverter valve not right before you wash yourself, but sometime prior, by the time you get to engage the handle button, the water comes out very hot for a few seconds before it normalizes. Same happens if you release the handle button, and then restart washing some time afterwards. Having abundant time to contemplate this phenomena during my bowel passing journeys, I have come to speculate that, while the bidet handle button is off, the sink faucet remains open, and the pressure in the hot pipe forces more hot water into the mix inside the hose. If indeed so, it could be an unavoidable issue with such design. Moral: stay focused - turn it on, wash yourself, and be done...make up your mind firmly whether you're done with your #2... don't be an indecisive flip-flopper and strain yourself to squeeze out more after you already washed yourself. On the serious note, since this requires you to constantly pay attention, or else a possibility of scalding exists, it's a big issue, especially if your front parts are involved. I have to downgrade my rating, which is unfortunate, since I like everything else about this unique and quality product. The manufacturer needs to put a red warning label on the handle to alert the user about this problem. Anyway, it appears I have unintentionally created a rather long discourse on what appears to be the subject of a proper treatment of my a-hole, so I better wash myself up and direct my attention to pursuits of higher matters; perhaps an Amazon review of lyric poetry (which I just finished reading on the toilet) should rectify my brief preoccupation with the primordial.

What I did not care for is that in the box was not the right attachment for my sink. I wish they gave more. Just incase. On the directions it said Home Depot or a plumbing store. Neither had what was on the sheet. I called the number in the instructions and 5 days later after sending a couple photos while speaking to customer support my sink attachment was delivered for the bidet. If you live far from Home Depot definatly call instead of go and get frustrated they do not have the part. It wo... Read More

If you live far from Home Depot definatly call instead of go and get frustrated they do not have the part. It works flawlessly plus I have any temp I want.. I would highly get this product I went for the copper inlay as it lasts longer. Hope this review helps someone. Hope the company gives more attachments for future customers in the box. Took 5 mins to set up. I do recommend getting a small Allen wrench to help get off the original aerator on your sink. Read Less

(Note - medicalish talk ahead): Due to certain medical issues, I needed a bidet for trips to the bathroom. I could not afford a formal "bidet toilet seat", and the bidet attachments you can put under a seat have certain limitations. I visited the RinseWorks site to read up on their offerings, and a hand-held one like they sell SEEMED, based on their description, like what would work for me.

(Note - medicalish talk ahead): Due to certain medical issues, I needed a bidet for trips to the bathroom. I could not afford a formal "bidet toilet seat", and the bidet attachments you can put under a seat have certain limitations. I visited the RinseWorks site to read up on their offerings, and a hand-held one like they sell SEEMED, based on their description, like what would work for me. It does not - and here's why: I'm a larger guy. On their site for this item, it does say it works better for larger people than traditional seat type attachments, which is why I bought it. Well, it comes with two spray heads, one wider and one allegedly "narrower" spray wise. Unfortunately, the narrow one isn't narrow. If you see the illustration I'm including (from their own site on this item) it shows someone actually holding the bidet down into the toilet alongside their body. If you are even moderately larger, your entire body covers the whole seat - there is NO room to squeeze this wand down into the seat. The cartoon person on the seat in their illustration in reference to that toilet, would be about a 10-12 year old child in size, not a full grown adult or much less a larger adult. Your only recourse then, is to "squat" over the toilet while standing, and using the bidet by hand that way - and water will go EVERYWHERE. The "narrow" spray head is still too wide, and once you get enough water power going to do any good, the wide water pattern goes beyond the area you want it to hit, splashing over the edges of the toilet into the floor, down your leg, etc. VERY disappointing. A much smaller relative visiting tried it as well and they too, had no positive comments about using it. I have found that a battery powered travel bidet has a much more effective (and less messy) nozzle on it than this one does. This could be ok if they came out with a spray head with a MUCH narrower spray pattern than it currently offers. As it is, I waited too long to send it back, so will have to simply use it as a toilet bowl cleaner (which it's actually ok at), rather than it's intended use. Again - very disappointed. Read Less
